Families enjoying the recent Mission Pike County annual picnic at Percy Quin State Park in McComb.

McComb, Mississippi, recently was featured in Effect magazine as an ideal retirement community. McComb is one of only a few towns certified by the American Association of Retirement Communities. To become certified, towns must meet qualifications in terms of housing, safety, civic pride, shopping, educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities, and availability of hospital and medical care.

Please read about McComb in pages three and four of the Effect article:

Also, the Mississippi Development Authority, Division of Tourism Development, has its own certification program. McComb is one of only twenty-one towns in the state to earn the distinction of being a Certified Retirement Community. According to the website, the factors examined in the search for certification include "affordable cost of living, low taxes, low crime rate, quality medical care, recreation, educational and cultural opportunities, and most importantly - a warm, welcoming community." Read the VisitMississipi.org article about McComb as a Certified Retirement Community.
